NEW MUSIC RELEASE: SUNVOLUME Ignites with Explosive New Video for “RIFF CITY” A Loud, Unapologetic Ode to Pure Rock ’N’ Roll

11/10/2025

The amps are roaring, the lights are blinding, and the swagger is undeniable --
SUNVOLUME have arrived with their brand-new single and video “Riff City”, an electrifying anthem that captures the raw, high-voltage essence of modern rock in its purest form.

Directed with cinematic grit and energy that bleeds straight from the stage to the screen, “Riff City” is more than a song — it’s a mission statement. The track barrels forward with thunderous riffs and gritty grooves dripping with attitude, channeling the spirit of ’70s arena rock and 90's grunge through a modern lens that feels fresh, dangerous, and downright addictive.

NEW MUSIC RELEASE: IWAN Ignites with the Release of Two Singles — “WAIT” AND “WARRIORS” — Unleashing Emotion, Power, and Purpose

11/3/2025

Rising from the heart of the modern rock revolution, IWAN have arrived with not one, but two thunderous statements of intent. Their brand-new singles — “Wait” and “Warriors” — mark a bold step forward in the IWAN's sonic evolution, blending anthemic power with raw emotion, and proving once again that rock’s heartbeat is alive and roaring.

"Warriors" is a battle cry for the broken yet unyielding. With searing vocals and a relentless groove, the track delivers a message of defiance and survival in a world that often tries to silence individual power.

"Wait" takes a more introspective turn-digging into the emotional wreckage of a toxic breakup and the spiritual warfare that comes with healing from it. Both songs showcase IWAN's signature sound: a visceral mix of heavy guitars, haunting melodies, and lyrical vulnerability.

"IWAN isn't just a new artist-she's a force," says producer Tamas Vajda, who helped bring her vision to life at Savaria Studios in Brooklyn, NY. "She's got the story, the voice, and the fire. You don't hear it-you *feel* it."

With early support and growing attention on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, IWAN is quickly becoming one of the most compelling new voices in modern rock. Fans have responded to her authenticity, visual intensity, and fearless voice with emotional clarity-qualities that set her apart in
a crowded field.

Her journey-from law enforcement to the frontlines of music-is as bold and unapologetic as her sound. And with more releases lined up in the coming months, IWAN is just getting started.

Both tracks showcase IWAN’s dynamic range and fearless songwriting — two sides of the same coin that define who they are: passionate, powerful, and unapologetically real.

Listen to IWAN now on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and all major platforms.

NEW MUSIC RELEASE: REMEMBER THE MONSTERS Unveil New Single “INFECTED" A Vicious and Visceral Decent Into The Darkness Of The Human Condition

10/24/2025

"INFECTED" expresses a powerful mix of internal suffering, emotional numbness, societal disillusionment, and ultimately, a desperate plea for awakening and self liberation.
It’s about hitting rock bottom mentally and emotionally and realizing the need to rise, see the truth, and take back control from the forces internal or external that have taken over our lives.

As we put the music video together, I loved the characters inspired by John Carpenter’s “They Live” as a metaphor for the monster in each of us that can only be seen in glimpses and when you are aware of them.

NEW MUSIC RELEASE: KURT DEIMER Releases “IN DEEP” with BUCKCHERRY’S JOSH TODD on His Hardest Hitting Single Yet

10/24/2025

Rock powerhouse KURT DEIMER dives headfirst into the depths of human struggle and redemption with his explosive new single “In Deep,” featuring the unmistakable Josh Todd of Buckcherry. The track is a haunting, cinematic anthem that fuses hard rock swagger with raw emotional gravity — marking one of Deimer’s most compelling collaborations to date. The video has scenes from Kurt's upcoming movie Scared To Death, coming out in early 2026. SCARED TO DEATH WEBSITE HERE

KURT DEIMER ABOUT THE SONG "I recently was very lucky to tour with Buckcherry and Josh and the band were really great. Towards the end of this most recent tour, I had been speaking with Josh and he was gracious enough to agree to collaborate on a song together. I had this song I thought he would be perfect on, originally called "He Was Good To Me," and it was about women unfortunately falling prey to men with bad intentions. He listened to it but wanted to re-do the lyrics. The song now is about how you can get in to a relationship and you are in it too deep. You gotta watch out for those situations. It's really about thinking before you act and get too involved."

"During the creative process when Josh and I got together at Chris Lord-Alge's studio and I saw Josh in the vocal booth being Josh Todd like he is on stage with Buckcherry and how in to it he was I just knew this had to be my next single. It's a blessing for me to be able to share my art and Josh was more than gracious to help and be a part of this killer tune "In Deep." I hope you all enjoy it.

NEW MUSIC RELEASE: REMEMBER THE MONSTERS X ORGY Unleash "SYSTEM OVERRIDE," a Rallying Cry Against a Broken World. When Compromise Fails, the Reset Begins.

10/15/2025

"SYSTEM OVERRIDE" paints a picture of a collapsing society through the lens of personal disillusionment and collective struggle. At its core, it’s about mistrust, division, and the breakdown of systems, whether political, social, or spiritual, that once promised stability but now only deliver emptiness and control.

The recurring imagery of black & white versus color reflects the loss of hope, imagination, and nuance in a world consumed by conflict and polarization. Where once there may have been shades of possibility, everything now feels rigid, divided, and lifeless. The line “Do you dream in color?” becomes a desperate plea for vision, empathy, and renewal in a society that has grown numb and mechanical.

Themes of false leadership and hypocrisy surface throughout: leaders speak of greatness while ignoring suffering, strength is proclaimed while people are oppressed, and overlords exploit the weak.

The climax comes with the declaration of “SYSTEM OVERRIDE” and the call for a reset. This is an acknowledgment that the current way of living is unsustainable, and only by breaking down the corrupted system can something new and meaningful rise from the ruins.

Overall, "SYSTEM OVERRIDE" conveys both rage and despair, but beneath its bleakness lies a drive for transformation. A recognition that although the present feels hopeless, change is inevitable, and necessary.
